Location, location, location
This was my third visit to Bristol and I had no reason to imagine that it would be any different to previously and so it proved. It remains a somewhat scruffy, cramped site shoe-horned into a little over two acres of prime Bristolian land; but with a location that more than makes up for these short comings. That this is the only site to which I am a serial visitor speaks volumes about its positive traits. Everyone knows these. A beautiful outlook once you pass through the gate onto the harbour side; lots to see and do and lots of places to eat or drink just by exploring both sides of the harbour; an easy walk into the city centre or use a ferry boat for even easier and quicker access (though the cost of these mounts up if you use them regularly); buses outside (ideal for carless motorhomers) to Temple Meads and then further afield or round the corner for Clevedon (definitely worth a visit) or other places; a good 30 minute walk for the fitter up the hill into posh Clifton village and then to the awe inspiring bridge. Apart from being unkempt, I don’t like the apparent lack of the usual pitching rules. I pay a rent for a pitch and I expect it to be unencumbered by other people’s cars, table and chairs, awning or other paraphernalia. There are very clear negatives here and were it not for the situation, I would not dream of visiting this place; but sometimes location really is everything and this is one case in point. I will still come back here so long as the CC manages to hang onto it. Long may that be. Furthermore, in response to the reviewer below, I will continue to book an awning pitch despite not using an awning, especially here given the cheek by jowl nature of the place. But I would be happy to pay extra for this privilege.
